little-red-riding-huntress:alushheart:levantineviper:Some of the most striking images to surface during the Zionist assault on, and siege of, Lebanon in 2006 were a set of photographs showing Israeli children writing messages on munitions that were to be dropped on civilian areas housing children like themselves. Isn’t this amazing that this is literally what happened? It’s not propaganda or a misframed picture. Israeli children really were drawing on the bombs that would kill other children. Allah yel3an Israel.The wonders of western media.If you look through some of the other photos, you can see the photographers… who’ve been claimed to have suggested the kids sign the bombs to get a photo op. The kids were let outside after being in shelters for several days thanks to a handy bunch of photographers and backup showing up making it safe to come out for a while, and told that these bombs were going to be used on Nasrallah, who ordered the bombing of the area where the kids lived. Oddly enough, governments don’t tend to inform random kids when they intend to bomb other children from other countries. Doesn’t tend to win their loyalty as they grow up if you’re honest with them about that when they’re little. Shockingly, while Israel does horrendous things, that doesn’t mean small children there are sociopaths. I’ve seen like 10 variations of this post about kids going around- and 0 naming the people who ordered and carried out those bombings 0 on the government parties and officials who ordered and approved it. 0 on the civilians who supported it or aided it. 0 showing the damage and discussing the impact on the Lebanese. When we ignore the men behind the bombing/war to run weird stories on “look what we can get little kids to do!” I question the motive. Because these kids have fuck all to do with a war, policy, anything. And posts on the people who are guilty, are far less popular and often scarce. But they have a lot to do with the perception of Jews (rather than just israelis) on the whole, and the attempt to treat Jewish little kids like adults to justify all the things people like to do to our kids. This whole idea of Jewish kids as like piranha who revel in and seek the death of other children, who are just born ‘bad’, is like tumblr’s newest weird fetish. -- source link
